| Heresy [White]. Purity |
|
Compagnia Sineglossa Mon-Fri 16–19 October, 5pm–10pm Tent pl. Solny Admission free Third episode of the Heresy. Joan of Arc tries to “fix” her identity: she is keen to project the image of a bearer of immaculate purity – an absolute value that needs images to be testified in a potentially infinite future and to a wide audience. She chooses photography as it is the only way to create an unassailable reality, but the images she sees do not always come up to her expectations, revealing a much more profound and ambiguous identity Joan has to live up to, even when she is in private, hidden from the eye of the camera. Once again, Sineglossa takes its work out of traditional theatre spaces. Its members lean out of shop windows on central city streets to intercept a random audience who are asked to stop in their tracks, even for a moment, and contribute to what is happening. The performance develops over four days. Everyone can watch the creative process unfold. The whiteness of every spotless flower hides worms amongst its roots. George Bataille  PERFORMER: Simona Sala LIGHTS: Luca Poncetta DRAMATURGY AND DIRECTION: Federico Bomba GUEST ARTISTS DESIGNER: Simone Alessandrini STYLIST: Valentina Sanna Co-production: The Grotowski Institute Partners: Teatri di Vetro i Fondazione VOLUME! Accompanying Actions What Is Purity? Every day we will ask passers-by to take photos to try and provide their own answers to this question. The photos can be taken during Sineglossa’s performances, crystallizing a moment or detail of our work, or somewhere else, and then posted on Compagnia Sineglossa’s Facebook page. They will be incorporated into the fabric of the performance, adding to a potentially infinite archive of research on the issue. Who Am I? You can choose from various designs of handmade T-shirts printed with the words “Who am I?”. Each T-shirt has a pocket where interchangeable images can be inserted, the same as those projected during the performance. There are three good reasons to get a T-shit: – You can ask yourself the question “Who am I?” and answer it every day choosing a different image, a different point of view. – You can expand Heresy in space and time sharing your impressions with your friends who haven’t seen the performance. – Support Sineglossa’s work T-shirt stylist: Valentina Sanna “Heresy”: undogmatic visions of the world “Heresy” is a project around the figure/idea of Jeanne D’Arc. It is meant to be a long-term work carried out in various art fields: theatre, performance, music, and installation. The purpose is to set up heterogeneous events in theatrical spaces, streets, squares, art galleries, consecrated and not consecrated churches, starting from the specific poetics that Sineglossa has developed in the last years. The work is created with a modular structure. Every chapter is distinguished by a colour and a topic: they can be performed all together, in a random order that changes every time the meaning of each part, or presented as autonomous performances. This project involves the three founders of Sineglossa: Federico Bomba (dramatist and director), Luca Poncetta (lighting creator) and Simona Sala (performer). By its own heterogeneous and modular nature, it allows the featuring of different guest artists to influence the aesthetics of each part, for the growing of the whole Heresy concept. |
